After seeing this topic, I decided to watch it tonight.
And holy shit does this NOT hold up. I remember loving it at the time, but by todays standards its just incredibly cheesy. I can give a pass to the mid 90s CGI and lame special effects (although I forgot how heavily the movie relies on the special effects since they were new and cutting edge at the time), but even the dialogue and delivery of lines feels very fake and unrefined. The fight choreography is alright but nothing special. I know it was a good movie at the time...but it really shows its age.
Ugh the movie is cheesy fun that's the point, don't take it seriously at all. It's bloody awesome fun. ---
